The way, Hector was staring at Alexa was not lost on Benjamin Picker. 'Do I really stand a chance with this beauty, seeing the way Harrison seem so besotted with her? What are her feelings towards Harrison? Does she return his feelings? Or does she hate his guts? She is really not very easy to read, but I can tell she is a very remarkable woman. Is there something going on between them? he could not help thinking. Many women will give a limb to be with Harrison, is she one of them? She seems so different and professional!'I am really impressed with you, Miss Palmer', he said. 'You are not just a beautiful face but most importantly, you have brains and an astute business sense'sAlexa was surprised by his assessment of her. 'You flatter me, sir', she said.'I am not', he said looking at her with male interest. 'I am merely stating the facts. I will like to invite you to be my date at a ball I shall be throwing for my sister next week!''She will not be free to attend!' Hector said be
Soon the cab stopped her in front of her new home and drove off. She was about to climb the doorstep leading to the staircase of the building when she felt a presence behind her. Before she could turn around, a hand holding a handkerchief closed round her nose and she fell against her assailant, unconscious and was dragged instantly into a car.When she came to, she found she was strapped to a chair. She screamed and some men, about three looking men came out from the corners of the building where she was.'You have awoken', one said. He looked like he was the leader of the men. 'I was wondering if we were going to have to pour a bucket of water on you to wake you up, Beauty'. He leered, touching her cheek.Alexa shook his hand away by returning her face away from his touch. She felt disgusted.'Why did you bring me here?' she asked, firmly. She did not want them to know she was scared - very scared.'You have offended someone and the person wants to be you severely punished!' the man
Valerie saw the wild animal leap on one of her goons and was so shocked that the phone she had been videoing with fell from her hands. The wolf tore the man down and jumped on the other.Valerie wanted to run away but she thought she was not going to give up easily. Alexa had to pay for all the humiliating ways Wayne had been treating her, so she transformed, allowing her fangs to grow out and was about to attack the wolf when another body fell on her, pushing her to the ground just as the wolf turned to attack her.The third man, seeing all these was going to run away but the wolf grabbed him and dealt with him also.Alexa closed her eyes, there was blood everywhere. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the wolf had actually been Hector and the other person restraining Valerie was Wayne.'Hector, what are you doing here?' she whispered.Ignoring her, Hector went to Valerie. 'Jow dare you try to herm my...', he was going to say mate but stopped himself in time. sister- 'In -law?B
'Miss Palmer', it was Mr. Potter on the phone. 'Good morning!''Good morning, Mr. Potter', she replied. 'Why are you calling so early this Monday morning?''I just wanted to let you know that the management has decided that you should take two days off work!' he said.'But sir, I am okay', she said, wondering if it was a trick to lay her off work. 'What's the reason for the leave?''It came to our notice that you need rest', he answered. 'I advice that you take advantage of this two days because you shall be back at work Wednesday morning at the usual time!''Thank you very much for being so considerate!' she said.'Don't thank me, you should rather thank the Lyn...' but he suddenly stopped like someone had nudged him.'Who should I rather thank, sir?' she prompted. She wanted to show the person that she really appreciated their kind gesture.'Don't worry. I shall extend your thanks to the right quarters!' he said. 'Enjoy your leave!'Before Alexa could reply, the call ended.Now she
The Lyncan king Hector was restless. He knew that Wayne and Alexa were close. But he could not say for certain just how close. Were they close as close friends or very close as intimate, lovers? The thought caused him to ball his hands into a fist. What is the problem with me?' he thought. I can have any woman I want but here I am wanting someone who has not as much as shown the slightest interest in me.'I just don't want her coming to any harm', he told himself.'Right!' Flame, his wolf said. 'But Wayne is there to protect her. She is his mate too!''But I don't want him protecting Alexa. He can't protect her as well as I', he argued. 'I am the Lyncan king afterall'. Then he voiced the thought that had been troubling him. 'But how can the both of us be mated to her? And we are not even of the same kind!''I'm not sure!' Flame replied. 'I sense something strange but special about our mate. But I cannot seem to sense her wolf'.'Do you think she has no wolf?' Hector asked, thoughtful
Wayne was pacing in his study. He could not get any work done. Thoughts of Alexa kept permeating his thoughts. He kept wondering what could have happened if they had not got to her on time.Valerie! he thought viciously. Thank your stars that Alexa forgave you. Even then, I want to deal with you for my brother, his unborn child which you terminated and especially for Alexa. I am not as forgiving as she is. I have cut you too much slack. I am only letting you off this time because it is what she desires. If you make another Attempt on her like I am sure you will, because you are to vicious and stubborn, then I shall be waiting for you and I shall kill you before you even blink.Then he thought of Hector. What is happening? she thought for the nth time since they rescued Alexa together. How is it even possible? How can she be my mate and his at the same time? he thought.'It is strange that a vampire is mated to a werewolf but for the same werewolf to have another mate as well is incomp
After preparing the meal, Alexa did the laundry. She was supposed to have her rest today but she was too wired to lie still and the only way to keep her mind busy from thinking about the ordeal she just escaped from was with work.'I don't want to sleep either because I am afraid of having that same nightmare again!' she thought aloud. The nightmare was becoming s scarier. She didn't know why but she always felt apprehension anytime she saw the lady with the child, she grew agitated but she could not understand why and always before she could do anything, she woke. 'What is the meaning of this dream and who is the woman with the face of a monster taking that baby away? More importantly, who is the baby and what connection do I have with him or her? Yet, she knew instinctively that the baby was a he. 'How can I be so sure?' she wondered.By the time she was through with the laundry and scrubbing, she was tired. She had her bath and decided to relax with a book when her phone rang. I
The next day, Alexa was coming out of the school building after depositing her children in their class, when she nearly ran into Lionel being held by his driver.'Mother!' Lionel shouted, letting go of the hand he held and running to Alexa to hug her.'Oh, my baby!' she said, placing both hands on Lionel's back fondly. Then squatting, she ruffled his hair.'Hope you slept well?''I did, mum', he answered, 'but I look forward to sleeping in your bed after you sing lullabies to me or tell me bedtime stories! I miss you so much'.'I miss you too', she said and found that she actually meant it. 'but didn't we see yesterday?' she asked him teasingly. 'Okay, off you go to class. How are your parents, by the way? Hopefully I shall be able to meet with your Dad, this afternoon!'' she said, standing and wanting to say hi to the driver who brought Lionel but her eyes grew wide as they locked with the silvery grey of Hector'You?' Alexa said. 'What are you doing here? Was Hector tailing her like
